Why might someone choose to not have a jury trial?
The option to a jury trial is called a "bench trial." This is where a judge hears the evidence and decides without a jury. In criminal cases, the defense almost always prefers a jury trial because you only have to convince one of the jury members to avoid a conviction. Judges may be seen as less susceptible to using sympathy for a "victim" to convict than a jury. Also, if the case is more about some complex legal issue than the facts, a judge is more likely to understand the defense and find a defendant not guilty. In civil cases, a non- jury trial is better for the party that believes the law is on their side, and the jury trial is better suited for the party that hopes to confuse the jury and win based on other factors. A final consideration is cost. Non-jury trials are much shorter and therefore less expensive.
